and Pasnasonic was the trailblazer in mFT, with Olympus being smart enough to know a good thing when they saw it.

And we're happily enjoying the results; good times!

Actually, m4/3 was Olympus's baby with the PEN EP1 coming out before Panasonic offerings. My view is that m4/3, with both the PEN and OMD series, was the idea for Olympus getting into 4/3 from the beginning. Some seem to assume it was a matter of Olympus coming up with m4/3 because 4/3 wasn't selling as well as they'd hoped, but I think Olympus is too forward thinking to have not had mirrorless in mind from the start.
